Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness is the third musical project by Andrew McMahon, formerly of punk-rock outfits Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin.
McMahon announced the moniker in a blog post in July 2014, stating, "as I embark on yet another musical adventure, I will be traveling with my band to many of those same stages, this time as “Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness”. I suppose my wilderness is mostly an abstract one. Since putting Jack’s behind me, I have forced myself into strange spaces seeking new stimulus..." Read more on Last.fm

I am a man with a family who lives in a town by a beach. At a young age, in the midst of some unpleasantness, I moved here, and for the first time felt like I was home. People often come to California because there are some things they would rather not go through in the cold. I suppose that’s how I ended up here too. I refer to this album as my land of Upside Down Flowers. In many way’s it’s a mirror to my world, an uncanny reflection but not quite the real thing. The songs held within it’s borders are about friends and loved ones, both real and imagined. The edges are blurred now it seems, but the sentiment remains. I didn’t write these songs to change the world, but they helped me to understand mine a little better. Of course I didn’t realize it at the time, but I guess that is the beauty of letting go. Self reflection can be painful, it can be blinding and it can be transformative. For me, the creation of this album was a little bit of all three. Enjoy https://fanlink.to/upsidedownflowers

I’ve always been drawn to a good underdog story. Maybe it’s because at times I’ve seen a piece myself in those stories, or maybe it’s because I’m moved by the image of someone who struggles but does so with grit and the potential to prevail against great odds. Maybe it’s a little bit of both. Either way, Paper Rain is one of those stories. The story of a debt stacking up so high that it seems the only way out is play one last hand. To win it all back and start clean. It might sound foolish but when there’s so little left to lose, would you rather go quietly or go down swinging? Ladies and gentleman, Paper Rain.

Here is a still from yesterday’s video shoot for my new jam “paper rain”. The song debuts tonight at midnight and the video will be out in the next couple weeks. Love this song and the team that worked on this video is out of control.

I’m no stranger to the subject of escapism. The desire to run when things get difficult is hardwired into my DNA. These days I’m better at tempering the worst effects of that instinct, but the thought is alive and well in the song Blue Vacation. Running...It’s a temporary fix and the things we run from tend to find us in the end. But doesn’t it sound nice sometimes; The thought of putting it all down for a minute, grabbing the people you love and finding a beach somewhere? A place you’re safe from the drip feed dramas of the day. If you’ve ever had that feeling, this song is for you.
